Hello! I'm a twenty something creative professional. I am an ENFJ. A graduate from The University of the Arts, an avid coffee drinker & bad reality tv watcher. I can usually be found drinking a good brew (coffee, tea or a microbrew), perusing obscure internet sites or looking for uniquely designed ampersands. I am for hire!
